Forget the numerators, focus on the denominators for now. 3 an 4 are both multiples of 12, so we can multiply \frac{2}{3} by 4 and \frac{3}{4} by 3 to make all the fractions out of 12. This should make it easier to understand which one is the smallest / biggest. 

\frac{2}{3} × 4 = <span>\frac{8}{12} 
</span>
\frac{3}{4} × 3 = <span>\frac{9}{12} 
</span>
You leave <span>\frac{7}{12} as it is because it's already out of 12.

Now you can see that obviously, </span>\frac{3}{4} is the largest fraction, as 9 is the biggest when it's out of 12. \frac{2}{3} is the second largest as it's 8 out of 12, which is smaller than 9 but bigger than 7. Obviously, the last is one is <span>\frac{7}{12}.

So the order is:

</span>\frac{3}{4}, \frac{2}{3}, <span>\frac{7}{12}.</span>

For this question you should know that:
2/3 = 8/12 
and 
3/4 = 9/12 
so now you can say:
7/12 < 8/12 < 9/12 
so: 
7/12 < 2/3 < 3/4 :)))
i hope this is helpful

A line passes through the points (-8, 1) and (-1, 6). A second line passes through the points (-3,0) and (-8,-5). What is the po
finlep [7]
\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m=\frac{6-1}{-1+8}=\frac{5}{7} \\ 6=\frac{5}{7}(-1)+b \\ 6+\frac{5}{7}=b \\ b=\frac{42+5}{7}=\frac{47}{7} \\ y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{47}{7} \end{gathered}

For the second line

\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m=\frac{-5-0}{-8+3}=\frac{-5}{-5}=1 \\ 0=1(-3)+b \\ b=3 \\ y=x+3 \end{gathered}

The intersection will be

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{47}{7} \\ x+3=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{47}{7} \\ x-\frac{5}{7}x=\frac{47}{7}-3 \\ \frac{7x-5x}{7}=\frac{47-21}{7} \\ \frac{2x}{7}=\frac{26}{7} \\ 14x=182 \\ x=\frac{182}{14} \\ x=13 \\  \\ y=13+3=16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the point of intersection is (13, 16)

Use the distributive property to solve the equation 2(m + 2) = 22. Describe what it means to distribute the 2 to each term insid
Mumz [18]

Answer:

m = 9  

It means that you are multiplying each of the values inside the parentheses by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(m + 2) = 22

2m + 4 = 22

2m + 4 - 4 = 22 - 4

2m = 18                           -Divide both sides by 2

m = 9
